Apparently my good buddy @kevharrison.bsky.social's excellent novella Pyres is on sale for 99p/99c until the end of tomorrow. I absolutely adored this one, and was lucky enough to work with Kev on the cover, think it's one of the ones I'm most proud of. It's also scorchingly political and cathartic.
